FAQs

What are fencing pliers for?

Fencing pliers are a versatile tool used in the installation, repair and maintenance of wire fences. They are designed to cut, bend and manipulate wire, making tasks such as tensioning and securing fencing much easier. In addition to cutting through wire, nails and staples, fencing pliers can also hold wire in place while it’s being repaired, crimp wire and even hammer in staples or nails.

Do fencing pliers cut barbed wire?

Yes, fencing pliers can cut through barbed wire.

How do you tighten wire with fencing pliers?

To tighten wire with fencing pliers, place the wire between the main jaws of the pliers and grip it securely. Then, rotate the pliers away from the wire, which will wind the wire around the tool and apply tension. This method is effective for tightening various types of fencing materials, including woven, welded and single strand wire.
